Go Wings
So, as I normally do during the week, weekend, holidays, sleeping, or just about any other time, I'm paying attention to hockey. (It's intermission, so I got a few minutes free.) If any of you have LCDs, remember that the backlights in them eventually burn out. I seem to have never thought of that, so after roughly 4 years constant use, my old ( Read more... ) -
Programming Efficiency
So my sister asked me about finding an alarm clock for her computer which alerts her silently by opening a window with a message above everything else. After ~ 10 minutes of searching, I said screw this and made a quick application to do this. You can find the source and the executable on googlecode.com. -
Weee! Break time.
Well, really the only thing that constitutes the Weee! (beside the Wings winning last night) is that I have a lot more free time all of a sudden.

Software Update
So I guess I lied about using this to keep me occupied. First off, I haven't posted in a month or so. This at least is much better than last time I took a break. However, I've also hit a brick wall on my programming. Mainly it's because I figured out a way to do things, and then it didn't work on the calendar, so I have to rethink how I want to ( Read more... ) -
Last Week
It's that time again for another weekly update. I know, it's prolly better to actually post individual updates as things happen, but my attention span is such that I have to chain myself to the computer, shut the door, put on headphones, close my eyes, and possibly stop breathing so I can focus enough to get this out. Enjoy, and if you don't, ah ( Read more... ) -
Stardust
On a side note, those of you who haven't heard of it yet or haven't had a desire to see it, please check out the movie Stardust. It's basically a more magical Princess Bride style story with witchcraft, swashbuckling, and even the occasional mortal. I got to see the preview of it on July 19th, and absolutely enjoyed it. It's based off the book ( Read more... )
